supremebve Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Not surprised that the origin of the package piledriver is joshi. Is it? I've watched exactly two joshi matches, both this week, and I think I could be convinced that the object of joshi is to prove that women have a higher pain threshold than men. The Bull Nakano leg drop from the top of the cage is probably the scariest intentional wrestling move I've ever seen. Seriously, if she landed an inch or two in the wrong direction she would have crushed poor Yumiko Hotta's skull and killed her in front of an audience.

ebbie Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I miss when Nikki was beating the shit out of Brie. I still don't know how people can say Brie wasn't sympathetic. Nikki did not give a fuck: Also think Brie is one of the better bumpers tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the damage she actually did to herself. Imagine jumping off from what-- fifteen feet?-- and landing squarely on your ass. That could permanently fuck up your back. Hurt to watch that.

Gonzo Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 So....that's Steve Blackman hitting a front kick on cheese. Didn't expect to see that when I woke up this morning. A back leg front kick? On cheese... Not just cheese. HEAD cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I really need to catch up on that Underground Lucha thing. Seems like I'm missing out. I've only seen like two of the five episodes, but I am a big time fan of it. I'm not even a huge lucha guy. I just think the presentation of the show is fantastic. It's something that, for some reason, is incredibly important to me in wrestling. It's almost WSX-like. The "cutscenes" where they run backstage angles is really cool too. It's never been done before in wrestling, and would be business exposing in another time, but it beats WWE's invisible fourth wall. It's certainly different from TNA's shaky-cam style. The work isn't half bad either. John Morrison vs. Puma (Ricochet) was refreshing to watch, especially for a guy who, again, doesn't watch as much real lucha as I should. It wouldn't have been an out of place match in NXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thee Reverend Axl Future Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 That forking jiggly vein on Mr. Intensity reminds me of the one from Don Muraco's arm: It fascinated us greatly during his '80s WWWF/WWF run. He became even more... um, vascular later on. I dunno what became of The World's Most Intense Sting Fan but I am sure it involved bad tattoo choices and jobs with nametags. rassling!, RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo Woodbine Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Did they use plants in the crowd to look all hot and bothered when Rude came out, or was he just that ravishing? You don't see enough great individual crowd reaction shots anymore. Crowds are far too conscious of being filmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Awesome. Sad at the lack of Caballero Rojo though. Let's all enjoy his glorious theme song. Apparently they beat Vince McMahon to the idea of selling wrestler themes by about 20 years. I was reading a bunch of stuff on Titanes en el Ring earlier and they had a really hot selling album in Argentina during the 70s of the wrestler's entrance music.
